Despite significant advances in research on racial microaggressions, key challenges remain regarding how to define and classify them. Resolving these challenges is necessary to reduce misunderstanding and the subsequent minimization of racial microaggression research. Our goals in this article are to discuss the definitional challenges, to discuss implications for the creation of taxonomies, and to offer directions for how a revised definition and corresponding taxonomies can be used to further racial microaggression research. Regarding our first aim, we assert that racial microaggressions are observable events that occur independently of intention (i.e., regardless of whether they are intentional or unintentional) or impact (i.e., regardless of how they are perceived by recipients). Moreover, we assert that racial microaggressions are most validly defined by people of color and can have different meanings on the basis of situational context. The second aim is to propose a refinement and expansion of racial microaggression taxonomies. Sue and colleagues’ taxonomy has been invaluable, yet other ways of classifying microaggressions and moving toward dimensional taxonomies are needed to advance scholarship. We highlight key dimensions related to the experience, perpetration, characteristics, and sociopolitical function of racial microaggressions that may be useful for future taxonomies. Overall, overcoming definitional challenges and expanding taxonomies holds potential to advance the literature on racial microaggression.

聚焦镜头,看得更清楚:克服定义性挑战并确定种族微攻击研究的新方向

尽管对种族微攻击的研究取得了重大进展,但如何定义和分类它们仍然存在关键挑战。解决这些挑战对于减少误解和随后最小化种族微攻击研究是必要的。我们在本文中的目标是讨论定义的挑战,讨论对分类法创建的影响,并为如何使用修订后的定义和相应的分类法来进一步研究种族微攻击提供方向。关于我们的第一个目标,我们断言种族微攻击是独立于意图(即,无论它们是有意还是无意)或影响(即,无论接受者如何看待它们)而发生的可观察事件。而且,我们断言,种族微攻击最有效地由有色人种定义,并且可以根据情境背景具有不同的含义。第二个目的是提出对种族微攻击分类法的改进和扩展。Sue 及其同事的分类法非常宝贵,但还需要其他分类微攻击和转向维度分类法的方法来推进学术研究。我们强调了与种族微观侵略的经验、犯罪、特征和社会政治功能相关的关键维度,这些维度可能对未来的分类有用。总体而言,克服定义挑战和扩大分类法具有推动种族微观侵略文献的潜力。第二个目的是提出对种族微攻击分类法的改进和扩展。Sue 及其同事的分类法非常宝贵,但还需要其他分类微攻击和转向维度分类法的方法来推进学术研究。我们强调了与种族微观侵略的经验、犯罪、特征和社会政治功能相关的关键维度,这些维度可能对未来的分类有用。总体而言,克服定义挑战和扩大分类法具有推动种族微观侵略文献的潜力。第二个目的是提出对种族微攻击分类法的改进和扩展。Sue 及其同事的分类法非常宝贵,但还需要其他分类微攻击和转向维度分类法的方法来推进学术研究。我们强调了与种族微观侵略的经验、犯罪、特征和社会政治功能相关的关键维度,这些维度可能对未来的分类有用。总体而言,克服定义挑战和扩大分类法具有推动种族微观侵略文献的潜力。我们强调了与种族微观侵略的经验、犯罪、特征和社会政治功能相关的关键维度,这些维度可能对未来的分类有用。总体而言,克服定义挑战和扩大分类法具有推动种族微观侵略文献的潜力。我们强调了与种族微观侵略的经验、犯罪、特征和社会政治功能相关的关键维度,这些维度可能对未来的分类有用。总体而言,克服定义挑战和扩大分类法具有推动种族微观侵略文献的潜力。
